To all whom it may mm:

Be it known that, 1,; "THIELO "BRUNO.

Scrmnrrrn, a citizen ofthe-Unitcd States,

and a residentfiofrthe city of SamB'eref nardino, county. of San Bernardino, and State of California, have invented a certain new 1 and useful Combination:;Curta1n Ring:

, andPimkof' which the" followingis aspecle 1 or drapery.

A further object is to provide such a supporting devicewhich is simple anddurable in construction, convenient to" manipulate, inexpensive in manufacture and highly eflicientin use. Other objects will appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which, 7

Fig. 1, is an elevational view, showing in dotted outline my combination ring and pin supporting a curtain on the curtain pole, the

device being hidden from view by the cur- I tain; v Fig. 2, is a sectional view on line 22 of Flg. 1, showing my device supportingthe curtain on one side and suitable drapery on,

the other side of the curtain pole;

Fig. 8, isa detail-ed rear view of the combination ring and pm; and

4, 1S a front view of a modified form,

which is roller.

My invention comprises a curved member provided with a. pole engaging 6 formed from suitable, slightly resilient wire, and which isbent to acircular or any suitable sh ape to fit the curtaln pole or similar supportlng member 7 The wire is twisted at both sides 8 of the curved member 6 and the twisted portions are bent over to form hooks or clasps 9. The wire is again twisted at the lower portion 10, and the two end portions 11 of the wire are bent upwards therefrom, forming resilient I arm's, which iare engaged and gre tamed" a. closed positl on by the claspsi 9; Pointed port1ons112-are formed on the ends off-said farms xllpand extend; beyond-the r The modified form OIfitllQ'fdGVlC 'sl1OW-1 1n Fig. v 4,:jis constructed in This form is provided witha roller 13, r0 tatably mounted onfa straight upper part 14;, of the ring, 'to .facilitatemovement of said I afirinannersimilar =to :th'e: form "above described, -,;-jcom-pr1sing I I hinges 9, arms llrl and;pointed-ends .12.

ring and the attached curtains over the curtain' pole or the supporting member, this form being especially suitable when the rings are used to support heavy curtains, drapery, I

portieres, and the like.

The device i'sshapedto fit over a curtain rod, as best shown in Fig. 2,.and in use one arm 11 is engaged through a lower part 15. of the inner foldrorsean of a curtain16,

the arms isthenxsnappedflupon its hook 9, i

' and the upper pointed portion 12 is engaged throughan upper part 17 of the inner fold of said curtain, or the parts 11 and 12 of the device maybe passed through the two p015 tions 15 and 17 of the curtain and the clasp 9 engaged over the arm 12 between said pore tions 15 and 17. In a similar manner the opposite arm '11 may be passed through a lower part 19 of theinner. fold of suitable trimmings or, drapery 20, and the pointed portion 12 engaged through. an upper part 21 of said inner fold. H I I i From the aboveit is apparent that with the use of my novel supporting device, curtains and the like may bevery easily mount that the curtains will hide the device from view, from the front orinterior of the room;

- and-that either one or two similar or dissimied on or demounted from the curtain poles;

lar members, such, as curtains, draperies,

portieres and the" like, may 'besupportedon I i the "one pole by my invention. I

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for can rying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit ofthe invention."

Ltherefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications. as come within the scope of. i I

the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I and desire to secure by Let- I from said portions for retaining curtains on said members. p p 2. A curtain supporting device, comprisingacurved POI'tIOllfOI engagingv a curtain )ole an arm thereon for en 'a in an inner I fold of a curtain, a clasp for retaining said curtain on said-arm, and meansj'on said arm for engaging a second port-ion of said curtain above said retaining device to hold the'rgcurtainabove said supporting device,to hold said portion and support it upon said clasp.
